It has 5 total 1 tach water, volt, oil temp and press. I was thinking I was going to remove the oil press I don't think I will need it. No the block is bare. I don't even know if the gauges work I might have to buy all new ones. It has procomp liq. filled ones in there now.
whatever you do DO NOT remove the oil pressure gauge!!

Thanks thats what I was looking for.

I think all the Olds people will agree here. If could have only one gauge on an Olds. Thats the one! Search "Olds" in this forum for more info.
